Wow, I know I haven't been in this Forum too long, but read up on your posts. And I am sorry you had a loss of someone very special. I Know what it is like to be in that boat, and it STINKS! I had to convince my mom it was time to let our old girl Tasha go. She was 13, and after 6 yrs of leg problems, and not walking.. Steroids just stopped working. She was sooo sad and would eat or Drink anymore. So, we took her to the vet, and she actually Smiled, and tried to move around. I knew she was ready then. She was telling me she was ready to go. And she was going to run after the Hose, and Frisbee for ever.. No more pain!

This was the first... and only time i Have actually seen my hubby cry.. She was only around maybe 6 mo after I met him.

I am soooo Happy your family has found the perfect pup.. I bet he knows he has BIG Paws to fill! And I think he is a Beautiful pup! My heart is with you, and your family. And Toby sounds like a perfect Pal for my Tasha.. Maybe they have met each other over there! Tell Toby to keep a eye on her for me!
